Discussion
NS3000/iX Network Services are composed of user services, each of which
performs a specific task. These services are VT, Reverse VT, NFT, RPM,
RFA, RDBA, LOOPBACK and NSSTAT. Refer to Using NS3000/iX Network Services
for details on Network Services.
To function, Network Services require Network Interprocess Communication
(NetIPC), the user interface included with NS3000/iX links. NetIPC is
used extensively by the Network Services when processing service requests
and is available for use in customer applications. It is not a service
in the same sense as VT or RFA, since it consists of a set of intrinsics
and associated code in the system SL and NL. NetIPC intrinsics are
described in the NetIPC3000/XL Programmer's Reference Manual.
The NETCONTROL START command must be issued before NSCONTROL START. This
is because the NETCONTROL command controls the network transport
subsystem, which must be initiated before the Network Services or any
NetIPC application can successfully execute. NetIPC depends on the
network transport to identify sockets and exchange messages. Refer to
the NETCONTROL START command, also described in this section.
